TEENS: What issues affect our generation the most?
To me is the focus on material acquisitions. It is unnecessary for kids to grow up in a home that values income over the value of provision of a parent to be available when they come home from school. When parents just sit down and list the net of their combined incomes, and then how much it costs for both of them to work, such as costs of child care, the cost of fast foods, the wardrobe costs, of lets say the mother, the lack of domestic structure and the fatigue felt by both parents to make their selves approachable and patient for their kids, the enforcement of scholastic expectations and limitations expected by the parents as acceptable peer group identification. It is truly not necessary to replace the security provided by an availability of a parent. Encouraging your kids to participate in after school activities should be limited as well. Children need to be encouraged to focus on their academics, and if they need help, then provide a tutor for them. It makes no difference which parent stays home. The parent who provides the most fiscal contribution is the one who should work. Nothing wrong with being a house husband.

The generational gap is and was a term popularized in Western countries during the 1960s referring to differences between people of a younger generation and their elders, especially between a child and their parent's generation.
Although some generational differences have existed throughout history, because of more rapid cultural change during the modern era differences between the two generations increased in comparison to previous times, particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, culture and politics. This may have been magnified by the unprecedented size of the young generation during the 1960s, which gave it unprecedented power and willingness to rebel against societal norms.
In the 1990s and 2000s, cultural differences concerning what should be the sexual norm, as well as new technology, political differences, workplace behavior, age of consent, age of responsibility, the education system, and many other political, cultural, and generational issues, has produced a generation gap between Generation X and Y and their Baby Boomer parents. However, many Baby Boomers grew up during the late 1960s, and can relate to their young offspring better than their parents related to them and are more willing to tackle subjects such as drugs and sex with their children. Nevertheless, the portrayal of teenagers in popular reality television channels, like MTV, has caused concern for parents and a sense of alienation amongst teens and young adults of today.
